Many were discovered by accident. 9th
ers came to light as the result of patient
experiment and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a comparatively
new disease, growing out of the conditions
of modern life. 1t is joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the nervous
system. These two were formerly treated
as separate ailments, and it was left for
the clear-sighted Shakers to prove that
the basis of this terrible and often fatal
complication lies chiefly in the disordered
depraved functions of digestion and nu-
rition. They reasoned thus; we ca II

STA and NERVOUS Exhaustion.
And they were right. Knowing the
infallible power of Shaker Extract (Sei-
gels Syrup in less complicated though
similar diseases, they resolved to test it
fully in this. To leave no ground for
doubt they pl escribed the remedy in hun
dreds of cases which had been pronounced
ncurable-with perfect success in every
instance where their directions as to liv-
ing and diet were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Exhaustion is
peculiarly American disease. To create
or less extent half the people of this coun
try suffer from it-both sexes and all
ages. In no country in the world are
there so many insane asylums filled to over
flowing, all resulting from this alarming
disease Its leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual headache; a dull
pain at the base of the brain; bad breath;
nauseous quotations; the rising of sour
and pungent fluids to the throat; sense
of oppression and faintness at the pit OF
the stomach; fatulence; wakefulness and
loss of sleep; disgust with food even whey

If thou turn away thy foot from
the Sabbath, from doing thy pleas
ure on my holy day; and call the
Sabbath delight, the holy of the
Lord honorable; and shall honor
him, not doing thine own ways, nor
finding thine own pleasure, nor
speaking thine own words;
Then shalt thou delight myself in
the Lord; and | will cause thee to
ride upon the high places of the
earth, and feed the with the heritage

tits common thing for people
to plead excuses for seeking their
own pleasure on Gods holy day,
God designed that we should find
day of rest in his service, a delight
in his holy Sabbath. 1t our hearts
were right, his service would be our
delight and pleasure. An accident
which occurs on the Sabbath is
doubly distressing because Of the
violation Of Gods law which almost
invariably accompanies it. In a
recent paper there is given a long
account Of the circumstances attend.

Of whom it is said: "IIe was con-
sistent IN his church relations. He
was as the apple Of her eye to his
mother. His sudden and tragic
death was blow from which his
mother will never recover" He
couldn't say mo" to the invitation
Of a friend to accompany him on an
excursion. We read that "the
steamer was loaded with the usual
Sunday crowd" The Sunday
crowds are those who seek their
own pleasure, forgetting the
precious promise Of God TO those
who turn their foot from doing their
own pleasure on his holy day. The
church Of God should so instruct
the young that they shall take no
pleasure in Sabbath dissertation.
In the first Psalm we find that a
good man is blessed and it is further
said. 'But his delight is in the law

A PLEASANT INCIDENT AT MT.

Beulah Cottage. Those who know
our precious hostess at Grace"
Miss Jennie Smith, are generally
acquainted with her co-laborer,
Miss Addie Sherman; but they may
not all know that God by His grace
as well as His providence has moved
this last-named sister to erect a neat
cottage here, almost as close to sister
ennie as they two themselves are
united, in which she aims at the
divine glory, and the comfort and
salvation of those who come be-
meath its roof.
This little home on the mountain
top she has named Beulah, and the
formal opening of the house will be
long remembered by those present,
not only as sweet, spiritual and So
cial occasion, but as an example
too, suggesting to those establishing
or occupying homes, that they
possess them in the name of the
Lord. How fitting that the homes
we dwell in should be Bethels!
How appropriate that the tents we
occupy here on earth should be
dedicated to the service of God in
homely love!
Our venerable brethren, Rev.
VIM. Sampson, of Cleveland, Ohio,
and Rev. w. c. Stockton, of Ocean
City, N. j., were in charge of these
services by request of Miss Sher-
man, and crowding the parlor and
standing on the front porch and
steps the company was led in song
by sister Lizzie Smith, of Phila-
delphia. 80 Beulah Land, Sweet
Beulah Land" was sung with
zest, after which the 24th Psalm
was read by J. II. Smith, and Bro.
Sampson led in most fervent and
sympathetic prayer, asking Gods
multiplied blessing upon all coming
beneath the roof of Beulah Cottage.
Then few touching remarks were
made by Bro. Stockton, and sister
Smith once NOSE led us in song;
this time inquiring, as not this the
Land of Beulah?" And as we
separated, our dear sisters must have
felt that circle of hallowed love
environed their habitation; and we
felt that "Beulah" had been launched
on her mission, already distributing
her benefits to those who had repair
ed to the mount apart little while,

The Supreme Court of Appeals
of this State has decided that a con-
tract between school trustees and
teacher is not valid unless made at
an open meeting, the time and place
of which all the trustees have been
noticed, and at least two Of them
must be present, and sign the con-
tract. Under this ruling the prac.
tice heretofore Of each trustee sign
ing the contract whereverand when
ever it might suit his convenience

apparent. Often applicants for a
school visit the trustees separately
and false representations are made
in order to secure their consent. Adj
vantages are sometimes taken, and
undue influence is exerted that

New YORK. April 19.-Alexander Mitch
ell. President of the Chicago,
e. St. Paul Railroad, died at 2:3O O'CLOCK
this afternoon at the Hoffman House.
where be has been stopping for the last
two weeks. The immediate cause was 1al'-
ure of the action of the heart. Since De-
cember he has been stopping with his vile
at Alexandreaville. neal Jacksonville,
Florida. When he came to this city two
weeks ago with his old friend, Rev. DIR:
Keene, he was enjoying unusually good
health. For some time he has been tron-
bled from impeded action OF his heart.
Last Wednesday evening he vent out
and afterwards had a chill. he
caught a severe cold which developed
into bronchial pneumonia, and no doubt
directly affected the hearts action and
caused his death. The remains have been
embalmed and will he taken to Milwaukee
in his private car, leaving Grand Central
depot about 6 o. m. Tomorrow, and arrlv-
ing at it's destination at 2:3O p. NJ. on Fri
day. The death of Mr.. Mitchell was both
a surprise and a shock to his many friends
in this city. Although quite i'll since Friday
night, no apprehension of q serious termi-
nation was felt by attending physicians who
were DR.. Mackie, Of Milwaukee, DR..
Bradley and DR.. Janeway. Until IL
O'Clock to-day many prominent railway
men called at the hotel. Among Others
were Walter s. Guerne, Geo. l. Seney and
Mr.. Bond, vice president Of the road. Also
a member of the board OF directors, who
will hold a special meeting at the office of
the company tomorrow. DR.. Keene to-day
said that the death of Mr.. Mitchell would
be more severely felt than that of almost
any one in the Northwest. In this city, he
was widely known, not only in railway and
financial circles but in the social world.
He was a member of the Union Club and
also of Manhattan. Mr.. Mitchell was
born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in
1918. He came to this country
and settled in Milwaukee in 1889. He at
once became identified with the Wisconsin
Fire, Marine and Insurance Bank, of which
was president. In 1910 he became con-
nected with ~railroading, and later was
made President of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railroad. Arrangements for
his funeral will not be made till the arrival
of the remains in Milwaukee,. He will be
buried in Forest Home Cemetery. His
will proceed direct from Florida, where
she is to his home. Mr.. John Mitchell and
wife will accompany the body of his father
from New York.
